The Flints pull you into a hazy, late-night headspace that feels both personal and wide open from the first few seconds of "Hold On Me." George and Henry, twin brothers from Manchester, keep honing their unique mix of spaced-out psych-pop and classic 70s disco. Their new song feels very personal while still being easy to relate to.
The emotional depth of "Hold On Me" is what makes it so powerful. The song has a nostalgic feel that never feels forced, and it comes from the piano they grew up with. Instead, it happens naturally, starting out soft and then building into something euphoric and all-encompassing. The emotional anchor here is their sibling harmonies, which wrap around the listener with warmth and a hint of sadness. They perfectly capture the feeling of being held by a person, place, or memory that you can't quite shake.
The production, which was co-written by Koz and Luke Steele of Empire of the Sun, strikes a perfect balance between polish and mood. The energy of the city at night and the desire to escape give the song a hypnotic pull, yet it maintains its human touch. "Hold On Me" is a feeling that is stuck in time. It shows that The Flints are making more than just sounds; they're making moments that are worth going back to.
